Nedenstående er en liste over en række bøger, som jeg er faldet over på min vej imod at blive spiludvikler. Jeg har langt fra læst dem alle, men har alligevel skrevet deres titler ned for en sikkerheds skyld. Man ved jo aldrig, om de kunne blive nyttige en dag.
Senest opdateret: 29. juli 2011
Titler skrevet med blå = Specielt gode bøger. Essentielle must-reads, som jeg mener, at enhver, der ønsker at begå sig i spilbranchen, bør læse.
Besøg i øvrigt min bogsamling på LibraryThing.
